DeCenter – Blockchain and Bitcoin

📊 Robinhood launched their own blockchain on July 1, and in just 16 days, the volume of funds locked in its protocols exceeded $400,000,000.

For a new network, this is a powerful start, although for now a significant part of the activity is not related to tokenized stocks, but with DeFi and shitcoins.

🇦🇷 Argentine court ordered to freeze 25 accounts on Binance, Bybit, OKX and other exchanges in the case of the shitcoin **LIBRA** and demanded to disclose KYC, transactions, and IP logs of their owners.

⛏️ The quantum race is unexpectedly heating up demand for rubidium — a rare metal whose atoms QuEra and Pasqal use as qubits.

In 2026, the global market is estimated at just 7–8 tons, while high-purity laboratory rubidium costs around $128 per gram, by 2035 demand could grow to almost 12 tons, turning a niche raw material into a strategic resource.

🪙 Back in 2010, Satoshi explained that if Bitcoin's current defense ever becomes vulnerable, the network could be transitioned to a new algorithm beforehand.

That is, he did not create a ready-made "quantum shield", but foresaw the very principle of Bitcoin's update long before current fears.

🇷🇺In Russia, the law on digital currency was significantly tightened for the second reading — from 2027, exchange offices will have to obtain a license, store customer data for 5 years, and have a minimum of 15 million rubles in their own funds.

Also, a 48-hour "cooling-off period" is introduced for large transfers to third-party wallets and restrictions on bank transfers to foreign crypto services — in fact, access to the external market will be controlled by legal exchange offices and brokers.

Who do we believe? 🍿
